147 Ning Fengzhi and Jian DouluoThe first floor of the Tiandou Auction House is the trading hall, where many items that cannot be taken into the auction house, or that people do not want to take into the auction house, will be traded.
After sending Manager Chen away, Dugu Bo introduced Qi Tian, "Little monster, I have been here several times. If you want to buy a soul guide, you should be able to meet it in the trading hall."
Qi Tian smiled and asked, "You really don't want me to attend the auction?"
Dugu Bo sighed and told the truth, "In the auction house, the prices of many items are inflated, and it is basically impossible to buy items that are worth the money. Besides, the auction city does a lot of shady business behind the scenes, some of which you'd better not know."
Qi Tian shrugged. The original time and space did not describe much about the Great Fighting Spirit Arena, but as a place for nobles to spend money, money can buy almost everything here.
After a quick stroll around the trading area, Qi Tian soon spotted two familiar figures.
"Tang San, Xiao Wu."
According to the original development of time and space, Tang San left the Yin-Yang Eyes and returned to Shrek Academy. I just don't know if Tai Long will still argue with Tang San because of Xiao Wu.
Tang San and the other man were wearing masks, but in the eyes of people who were familiar with them, the masks were of little use.
Of course Tang San also noticed him, but the relationship between them was not good enough for him to take the initiative to say hello.
Dugu Bo looked strange, "Little monster, I always feel that there is something wrong with that little girl, but I still don't know why."
From the corner of his eye, Qi Tian caught a glimpse of the Yanxi Grass on Xiao Wu's forehead, and he understood the reason.
"Oh? What did you find?"
Dugu Bo had an inexplicable feeling, he always felt that Xiao Wu was not a human. But after knowing Tang Hao behind Tang San, he did not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, he would most likely capture Xiao Wu to study.
"Forget it, it must be that my eyes are blurry."
Arriving at the entrance of the auction hall, the auctioneer took the initiative to hand over the mask, "Two distinguished guests, do you need a mask to cover your face?"
Dugu Bo doesn't need all this pretense. Besides, with his outfit, people who are familiar with him can recognize him at a glance, so why hide it?
The seats in the auction hall, from low to high, are: white, yellow, purple, black, and red.
With Qi Tian's status as an earl, he can sit in the black seat even if he has no money; with Dugu Bo's strength, he is naturally qualified to sit in the red private room.
However, this was not a big auction, and they did not need to buy much, so they simply found an empty seat and sat down.
"Little monster, when you see something you want, don't bid too hard, or you'll waste your money. Even if the auctioneer's hammer falls, you can still raise the price as long as the item is not removed."
Dugu Bo said a lot in one breath.
In his previous life, Qi Tian had the honor of attending several charity auctions. However, the transaction price of such auctions is often much higher than the value of the items. When it comes to charity, what matters is not the item, but how much money you are willing to pay.
This is my first time attending a purely commercial auction.
Not long after, Tang San and Xiao Wu entered the auction. After buying Xiao Wu the Hiding Breath Grass, Tang San had no savings. He came here simply to see how much his items could be sold for and to gain some experience.
But after seeing Dugu Bo, Xiao Wu immediately lost interest and pulled Tang San out of the venue.
The ability of the Breath-Concealing Grass is far inferior to that of the Acacia Heartbreak Red. Its ability to conceal its breath is limited. If it is being stared at by a strong person, the disguise will soon be torn apart.
This kind of ordinary auction is held around the clock, but the waiting time for the next item is sometimes longer.
Items like storage soul guides are very rare in the outside world, but they are common items at auctions.
"The following item is a rare storage soul guide."
The auctioneer lifted the red cloth on the tray, and a soul guide device in the shape of a bracelet appeared before everyone.
Qi Tian's martial spirit is his fist. If it is a ring soul guide, he must take it off before fighting, otherwise there is a risk of damage in the battle. The bracelet soul guide is very suitable for him.
"Dear guests, this soul guide bracelet has 30 cubic meters of storage space inside. VIPs who need to store soul guides should not miss it. The starting price is 100,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must not be less than 10,000 gold soul coins."
After the auctioneer finished speaking, very few people asked for a price, and after a few minutes the price only reached 150,000 gold soul coins.
"Little monster, the largest known soul guide on the continent is fifty cubic meters. This thirty cubic meter soul guide is already large enough. However, the price should not exceed one hundred and eighty thousand gold soul coins." Dugu Bo said.
Soul guides are the items with the highest unsold rate at the auction, and most guests have no interest in them.
In the end, Qi Tian bought it for 170,000 gold soul coins.
Originally, Qi Tian was planning to leave directly, but the next lot was a piece of sunken silver. After smelting this ore, the metal extracted was very hard and was the best choice for making weapons. Even if it was not used in the short term, there was no telling when it would be used.
After Qi Tian took the picture, he decided to wait and see if there would be any good things later.
Not long after, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo came to them.
"Your Majesty Dugu, long time no see." Ning Fengzhi took the initiative to speak.
Free spirit masters like Dugu Bo are the main targets that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wants to win over.
Dugu Bo knew Ning Fengzhi's personality very well. He replied indifferently, "I didn't expect Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo to come here to join in the fun."
Chen Xin didn't say anything and followed Ning Fengzhi quietly.
The relationship between the two parties was not very good, so Ning Fengzhi chose to sit next to Qi Tian, one seat away.
"This must be the newly promoted earl of the empire, Mr. Qi Tian."
"Master Ning, what advice do you have?"
Qi Tian was not surprised to run into Ning Fengzhi here. Ning Fengzhi was a frequent visitor to the auction house and came here very often.
But he had a very bad impression of the latter. If Chen Xin had not been here, he would not even pay attention to the other party.
Ning Fengzhi showed an elegant and refined demeanor, and said with a smile: "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has always been hospitable. If Earl Qi Tian is interested, he can come to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect as a guest. Ning will also do his best to be a good host."
"Master Ning, please stop using those tricks of yours." The speaker was Dugu Bo.
He was not at all surprised by Ning Fengzhi's words.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was originally an auxiliary sect, but they controlled a large amount of the wealth of the Heaven Dou Empire. Without the protection of the offensive spirit masters, their property would have been divided up long ago.
It was no longer surprising for Ning Fengzhi to come forward to win over talented and powerful people. Even Dugu Bo had been visited by them many times.
Chen Xin snorted coldly and looked at Dugu Bo sharply.
"Uncle Jian." Ning Fengzhi whispered, not angry, still maintaining his demeanor, "If Earl Qi Tian needs anything, you can come to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect at any time. I dare not exaggerate, but the items available at the auction house are likely to be available in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
